Discover our comprehensive Giftedness Assessments and tests for giftedness to understand your child’s strengths, abilities, and learning potential.
At Internal Sunshine Psychology, we recognise that giftedness can look different for every child.
Some gifted children excel effortlessly in school, while others may feel unchallenged, misunderstood, or even anxious. Our Giftedness Assessments and tests for giftedness are designed to uncover your child’s unique learning profile, cognitive strengths, and emotional needs helping families and educators provide the right environment for them to thrive.
A giftedness assessment (sometimes called a test for giftedness) helps identify children who demonstrate advanced thinking, reasoning, creativity, or problem solving skills compared to their same-age peers.
Through these assessments, we gain valuable insights into your child’s cognitive abilities and learning style, allowing parents and teachers to tailor learning plans that keep gifted children both engaged and motivated.
A giftedness assessment may be particularly helpful if your child:
Learns or understands new information exceptionally quickly
Asks complex or abstract questions beyond what’s typical for their age
Shows advanced reading, reasoning, or vocabulary skills
Appears easily bored or frustrated in class
Has uneven learning patterns (excelling in some areas, struggling in others)
May be “twice exceptional” — gifted but also experiencing ADHD, Autism, or a learning difference
Identifying these traits early through a test for giftedness helps parents and schools nurture both intellectual and emotional development.
Our gifted child assessments are comprehensive, evidence-based, and designed to help children feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. We ensure each step flows naturally and provides meaningful insight into your child’s learning potential.
Firstly, we begin with an in-depth discussion with parents or caregivers to explore your child’s learning history, behaviour, and emotional profile.
During this stage, we also review any available school reports, teacher feedback, or previous assessments, helping us build a clear understanding of your child’s background before testing begins.
Next, your child will complete a standardised cognitive test carefully selected for their age group, such as:
WISC-V (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition)
WPPSI-IV (for younger children)
WAIS-V (for older adolescents or adults)
These assessments measure areas such as verbal comprehension, reasoning, visual-spatial skills, working memory, and processing speed. Together, they provide a detailed picture of your child’s intellectual potential and unique cognitive strengths.
Throughout testing, our psychologists maintain a calm, supportive, and strength-based approach to ensure your child feels relaxed and engaged.
In addition, we take time to observe how your child approaches different tasks — gaining valuable insights into their motivation, focus, and problem-solving style.
Afterwards, you’ll receive a comprehensive written report that clearly outlines your child’s cognitive profile, highlights their key strengths, and identifies any areas that may need additional support.
Moreover, we include practical, easy-to-implement recommendations for both home and school, such as classroom enrichment ideas, differentiated learning strategies, and emotional support techniques.
Finally, we’ll arrange a one-on-one feedback session to go through your child’s results in clear, parent-friendly language.
This meeting is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, gain clarity, and discuss next steps — ensuring you leave feeling confident about how to best support your child’s learning journey.
